You can drive me back and forth to work. That'll put some miles on your car and give you a reason to drive. Nice long interstate runs, can easily take the car up to 100mph with no threat in some stretches. And then the occassional civic that feels the need to pull next to you and rev only for you to pass them and give them a thumbs down. THATS worth driving the IS! Heh.

I strongly dislike the lack of a 6spd manual.

It’s not that much of a big deal, but on my G35 the nav screen and both audio and climate readouts are separate. That means I can glance at the RDS readout on a particular station to see what number or artist is being played, or peek at my climate control settings but still have the nav screen map. In my IS it’s one or the other and I have to hit a button to switch over.

wish the outside mirrors were a bit smaller and the tail lights didn't have amber in them.

I wish the rear seats were a little bigger for, yknow, when I need to use them ;D

But the fact that I have GFM which is the fastest color more than makes up for that.

I dislike the noise level when driving with any window opened.
I'm a smoker, and in my 2000 Solara (coupe) I could put the driver's window down an inch or so, to vent the smoke, with any in-rushing air being behind my head, but not *much* rushing air, anywhere. In the IS350, the air will rush right into my ear - and loudly - so I can't use that method. A workaround is to open the moonroof a couple of clicks, and leave the windows up.

I dont hate anyting about this car but I do wish it had some things....
1) 6spd manual on the 350
2) A better sound system (around 650+ watts)
3) No electronically limited top speed
4) AWD option for 350
5) Closing all windows with key fob
Again dont hate anything about this car, but if it had some of the above options I think it would be a much more popular car... (by the way off topic but that ECT button made me fall in love with my car all over again)

I don't hate anything.

But, one thing that I've recently noticed that I wish were different is the lack of having the backseats fold down. Now that Christmas shopping is a factor, having seats that fold down to fit larger things would be so convenient.

Oh, and it would have been nice to have a Pause button on the stereo and on the steering wheel controls. Yes, I know you can just hold down the Mode button, but all that does is shut off the whole stereo. Sometimes I just want to order something at the drive-thru, and after that's over, I want to quickly go back to listening to the music from where I left off. I also think the steering wheel should have had a Mute button on it.

That's about it, though. Everything else is practically perfect.

-Loads of brake dust
-Possible brake rotor replacement at 15k
-Rock chips, thin paint

These are SMALL problems. Overall, I am VERY happy with my car and you will be too.

I don't like all things that everyone is saying about it here, AND PLUS IT HANDLES NOT As GOOD AS THE 1ST GEN!

But I still love the car very much!!!!!!!
